PREFACE.
Thb present is the first attempt that has been made to prepare a Biographical
Catalogue of Washington and Jefferson College. In 1872 a General Catalogue
was published, but it contained little besides a list of names. The present work
has been one of great difficulty, from the fact that so little has been done to pre-
serve the history of the classes. Very largely, even the Annual Catalogues have
been lust, and no class histories had been written, with few exceptions, until a
comparatively late day.
Jefferson College covers a period of sixty-four years, from 1802 to 1865,
Washington a period of sixty years, from 1806 to 1865, with very little attempt
to perpetuate their histories.
Alumni Associations have existed at various times, but have not been of long
continnance. A reorganization was effected in 1884, with Rev. John M.
Bameit as Secretary, and A. M. Todd, Esq., as Corresponding Secretary. It
waa then decided to publish an Annual that should contain the Class Histories
of each successive year, and in this way preserve the histories of the classes.
It was also resolved to publish a Biographical Catalogue of tlie original and
the nnited institutions.
The Secretaries then prepared a circular calling for information, and sent it
to the Alumni and their friends, as far as their addresses could be obtained. Two
jean ago the undersigned was appointed to co-operate with the Executive Com-
mittee and to undertake the preparation of the Catalogue. The latter work
commenced in November, 1886. Up to that time 1,030 circulars had been
received. Since then the Secretary, Mr. Barnett, and the undersigned have put
forth vigorous efforts to secure the data of the remaining 2,424 Alumni. In this
we have been assisted by the present Corresponding Secretary, James I. Btx)wn-
Bon, Jr., Esq.
In the matter of collecting the data of the old students, we have been suc-
cessful beyond our most sanguine hopes. Of the entire number of the Alumni
(3,455), data has been secured, in greater or less fullness, of over ninety-eight per
cent, of the whole.
It i;? greatly to the credit of these venerable institutions, that of Jefferson,
with 1,936 Alumni, only twenty have been so utterly lost to history as to be
wholly untraceable ; and of Washington, with 872 Alumni, only fifteen have
passed out of all knowledge of the biographer. Some of a later day in
Washington and Jefferson College, can be found, but either neglected or declined
giving any points in their histories, and appear blank in the Catalogue.

BIOORAPHICAL CATALOGUE.
The plan has been to enroll only gradwOmj and Bach anderg^radaatea as after-
ward received honorary degrees. The latter are designated by A. B. and A. M.;
and as A.M. was for many years given to all graduates who had studied a
profession, no degrees are mentioned in the body of the work below Ph.D.,
except such as were conferred on undergraduates.
As the Catalogue is now pi^esentod, iier4 {s . a grand array of names of men
famous in the history of the Church and of ttie country— men who attained to the
highest positions in the land, and who were, and are, a mighty power for good.
Their influence has been felt in every part of our wide country.
Thanks are hereby tendered to Class Historians for their labors, and to
friends and sympathizers with this undertaking, for most valuable aid in gath-
ering data, and furnishing it most cheerfully.
Mistakes will, no doubt, be found in many instances, but there has been the
desire to make the work as perfect and reliable as possible.
With these brief remarks the Catalogue is commended to the old students of
Jefferson, and Washington, and Washington and Jefferson, and their friends,
trusting that it will revive old associations, shed light on the histories of old
friendships, and classmates, and reflect credit on our common Alma Mater.

OF
Jefferson College,
Ganonsburg, 1?a.,
IFrom the tinw it was chartered, ia 1802, uatil its
union, with 'lAToshington College, in 1865.
Bi|iE^ Jfistorrical J^otice.
The early settlers of Western Pennsylvania, like those of New England, were
distingaished for their love of religion and of learning. They planted tlie
charch and the school-house side by side. The first ministers who were settled
in this r^on, early directed their attention to the raising up of a ministry at
home, for the supply of the wants of the growing population. For this purpose,
mainly, several of them opened classical schools, in log-cabins near their own
dwellings. The Rev. Messrs. John M'Miixan, Joseph Smith and Thaddeus
DoD, pastors of the congregations of Chartiers, Buffalo and Ten Mile, had such
schools in operation between the years 1780 and 1790. The first of these men,
if not the earliest, as is commonly believed, was the most efficient in this good
work ; and his ** Latin School" has gained the most celebrity, from its intimate
connection with the origin of Jefferson College. The Canonsburg Academy
was commenced in 1791, under the patronage of Col. Canon, and Judges
Allison, M'Dowell, and others. To this the pupils under the care of Dr.
M'MiLLAN were soon afterward transferred.
The first Principal of the Academy was Mr. David Johnston, a graduate of
the University of Pennsylvania. He was assisted by Mr. (afterward Prof. )
Samuel Milleb, as Teacher of Mathematics. During the ensuing eleven
years the Academy continued to prosper, under various competent instruc-
tors; among whom were Messrs. James Cabnahan, afterward President of
Princeton College, and John Watson, afterward first President of Jefferson
College. In 1802 it was regularly chartered and organised a{ a College, being
the first west of the mountains.
During its existence as an Academy, the course of instruction which it
afforded was but little less extensive than that of the colleges of that day in the
Eaist. Here many of the most distinguished men in the Western country received
their education, and may be ranked among the honored Alumni of the institu-
tion, although their names do not appear as graduates under the college char-
ter. Among them we find the well-known names of Cephas Dod, Elisha
M'Cnrdy, Thos. £. Hughes, Thomas Marquis, Bobert Johnson, Joseph Stock-
ton, Samuel Tait, James Satterfield, Obadiah Jennings, D. D., Wm. Neill, D.
D., James Bamsey, D. D., James Hoge, D. D., Thos. M'Giffin, Esq., Joseph
Patterson, Esq., Hon. Geo. Torrence, Gilbert M'Master, D. D., James Power,
M. D.| and many others. *
•An extended and excellent Hidory of Jtffenon CtjOm, by the Rev. Joseph Smith, D. D.,
author of "Old Redstone," was published in 1857, In which the Alumni and friends of the
instllntlon will find an accurate and full account of the life of the College up to that date.

Ifistorical JM^otica
Wasbinotoh Academy, from which Washington College sprang, was*
chartered by the Legislature, Sept. 24, 1787 — five years after the town of Wash-
ington was laid out, and six years after the establishment of Washington
County, which was the first county formed after the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and only second to Westmoreland, the Mother County of the West. The
act of incorporation names the following persons as its first Trustees, in the fol-
lowing order: Rev. John M'Mlllan, Rev. Joseph Smith, Rev. Thaddeuh
DoDD, Rev. Jno. Clakk, Rev. Matthew Henderson, Rev. J no. Corbley,
Jas. Mabshall, James Edgab, John M. McDowell, Alexander Wright,
Jamf:s Allison, Thomas Scott, David Bradford, James Ross, David Red-
dick, John Hoge, Alexander Addison, Thomas Crooks, James Flanna-
QAN, Dr. Alexander Baikd and James Brice. .
The Academy received, by a provision in its charter, a donation of five
thousand acres out of the public lands of the State, the value of which at the
time was UoerUif cents per acre. This land was taken chiefly in what is now
Bearer County. For a long time it was unproductive, and involved the Board
in much expense, but was eventually sold and the proceeds judiciously applied
in carrying on the Institution.
After much effort, the Academy was put in operation in 1789, under Rev.
Thaddeus Dodd, who, in 1782, had opened, within his pastoral charge on Ten
Mile, what its friends claim was '* the first classic&l and scientific school in the
West.'*
For the accommodation of the Academy, the upper rooms of the Court
House were rented, and served the purpose until the building was destroyed by
fire. This drove the Board to the erection of an Academy building, whicli is
still standing, being the central stone building of the old College. In that
building, and in the temporary structure which preceded it, David Johnston,
James Dobbins, Benjamin Mills, and others, carried on the Academy with vary-
ing success during the years preceding its transformation into a College.
In the spring of 1805, Rev. Matthew Brown became at once Principal of
the Academy and the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Washington.
He was assisted as Principal first by David Klliott, and afterward by CrKOROK
Baird; and such was the success of the Institution, under their management,
that, on the 28th of March, 1800, an act was passed by the Legislature granting
the Trustees the charter of a College.
The minutes of the Trustees have no record of the graduates, until a meet-
ing held Sept. 27, 1831. This list of the Alumni was prepared by Thomas H.
Elliott, M.D., after very great research and labor, and is believed to be entirely
correct. It is certainly by far the most accurate ever yet published.
At the semi-centennial anniversary in 1856, a very full historical address
was delivered by Rev. James I. Brownson, D.D., of the class of 1886. Most of
the above is quoted from that address.
